through socialization processes with family
and other key institutions.
Cultures differ across the world (Arabian,

Family Distinctions affecting Buying
Decisions:
Family is the most important consumer buying

Family of procreation: spouse and children. (traditional
purchasing roles are changing and marketers tend now to
focus more on different targets
separately or collectively).

Consumer behavior

The starting point for understanding consumer
behavior is the stimulus-response model shown in
next slide.Marketing and environmental stimuli enter
the consumer’s consciousness, and a set of
psychological processes combine with certain
consumer characteristics to result in decision
processes and purchase decisions. The marketer’s
task is to understand what happens in the consumer’s
consciousness between the arrival of the outside
marketing stimuli and the ultimate purchase decisions.
Four key psychological processes—motivation,
perception, learning, and memory—fundamentally
influence consumer responses.

Motivation
Freud’s
Theory
Behavior
is guided by
subconscious
motivations
Maslow’s
Hierarchy
of Needs
Behavior
is driven by
lowest,
unmet need
Herzberg’s
Two-Factor
Theory
Behavior is
guided by
motivating
and hygiene
factors
Three of the best-known theories of human motivation—those
of Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, and Frederick Herzberg—
carry quite different implications for consumer analysis and
marketing strategy. Sigmund Freud assumed the psychological
forces shaping people’s behavior are largely unconscious, and
that a person cannot fully understand his or her own
motivations. Someone who examines specific brands will react
not only to their stated capabilities, but also to other, less
conscious cues such as shape, size, weight, material, color,
and brand name. Abraham Maslow sought to explain why
people are driven by particular needs at particular times. His
answer is that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy from
most to least pressing—physiological needs, safety needs,
social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. We discuss
Maslow’s theory on the next slide. Frederick Herzberg
developed a two-factor theory that distinguishes dissatisfiers
(factors that cause dissatisfaction) from satisfiers (factors that
cause satisfaction). The absence of dissatisfiers is not enough
to motivate a purchase; satisfiers must be present.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-25
Maslow’s Hierarchy
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-26
Need 5: Art world
Need 3&4: Self
image and how
he’s viewed by
others
Need 2: Clean air
for breathing
Need 1: Food,
water, basics.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-27
Perception : is the process by which we
select, organize, and interpret information inputs to
create a meaningful picture of the world

Selective attention: marketers must work hard
to attract consumers’ notice.

Selective retention: Likelihood to remember
good points about a product we like and forget
good points about competing products.

Selective distortion: the tendency to interpret
information in a way that fits our preconceptions.

Subliminal perception: marketers aim to embed
subliminal, covert messages in ads or packaging.
Learning: induces changes in our behavior
arising from experience.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-28
Learning

Learning theorists believe learning is produced
through the interplay of drives, stimuli, cues,
responses, and reinforcement.. A drive is a strong
internal stimulus impelling action. Cues are minor
stimuli that determine when, where, and how a person
responds. Suppose you buy an HP computer. If your
experience is rewarding, your response to computers
and HP will be positively reinforced. Later, when you
want to buy a printer, you may assume that because it
makes good computers, HP also makes good printers.
In other words, you generalize your response to
similar stimuli. A countertendency to generalization is
discrimination. Discrimination means we have learned
to recognize differences in sets of similar stimuli and
can adjust our responses accordingly.Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-29
Emotions
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-30
Memory: Short and Long term.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-31
Brand associations consist of all brand-related thoughts, feelings,
perceptions, images, experiences, beliefs, attitudes, and so on that become
linked to the brand node.(Associative model).

Expectancy-value model of attitude formation in
decision making.
To find the consumer’s perceived value for each laptop according to the
expectancy-value model, we multiply his/her weights by his/her beliefs
about each computer’s attributes.

and Purchase

Attitudes depend on:
intensity of negative
attitude, and the
motivation to comply
with other’s wish.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-38
Non-Compensatory Models of Choice

Conjunctive: the consumer sets a minimum acceptable cutoff
level for each attribute and chooses the first alternative that meets the
minimum standard for all attributes.

Lexicographic: the consumer chooses the best brand on the
basis of its perceived most important attribute.

Elimination-by-aspects: the consumer compares brands on
an attribute selected probabilistically—where the probability of choosing
an attribute is positively related to its importance—and eliminates brands
that do not meet minimum acceptable cutoffs.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-39
Perceived Risk

Functional:
Not up to expectations

Physical:
Threatens health

Financial:
Not worth the price

Social:
Embarrassment

Psychological: affects the mental well-being of the user

Time: The failure of the product results in an opportunity cost of
finding another satisfactory product.

The elaboration likelihood model, an influential model of
attitude formation and change, describes how consumers
make evaluations in both low- and high-involvement
circumstances. There are two means of persuasion in their
model: the central route, in which attitude formation or
change stimulates much thought and is based on the
consumer’s diligent, rational consideration of the most
important product information; and the peripheral route, in
which attitude formation or change provokes much less
thought and results from the consumer’s association of a
brand with either positive or negative peripheral cues.
Peripheral cues for consumers include a celebrity
endorsement, a credible source, or any object that
generates positive feelings. Consumers follow the central
route only if they possess sufficient motivation, ability, and
opportunity. We buy many products under conditions of low
involvement and without significant brand differences.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-42
Decision Heuristics

Availability: Consumers base their predictions on the
quickness and ease with which a particular example of
an outcome comes to mind. If an example comes to
mind too easily, consumers might overestimate the
likelihood of its happening.

Representativeness: Consumers base their
predictions on how representative or similar the
outcome is to other examples.

Anchoring and adjustment: Consumers arrive at
an initial judgment and then adjust it based on
additional information.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-43
Framing: the manner in which choices are
presented to and seen by a decision maker.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-44
Mental accounting used by marketers can help predict whether
consumers will or will not go to concert after having lost a ticket or
money.
Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-45
Mental Accounting

Consumers tend to…

Segregate gains: When a seller has a product with
more than one positive dimension, it’s desirable to have the
consumer evaluate each dimension separately. Listing
multiple benefits of a large industrial product, for example,
can make the sum of the parts seem greater than the
whole.

Integrate losses: Marketers have a distinct
advantage in selling something if its cost can be added to
another large purchase. House buyers are more inclined to
view additional expenditures favorably given the high price
of buying a house.

Integrate smaller losses with larger gains

Segregate small gains from large losses

  • 25. Three of the best-known theories of human motivation—those of Sigmund Freud, Abraham Maslow, and Frederick Herzberg— carry quite different implications for consumer analysis and marketing strategy. Sigmund Freud assumed the psychological forces shaping people’s behavior are largely unconscious, and that a person cannot fully understand his or her own motivations. Someone who examines specific brands will react not only to their stated capabilities, but also to other, less conscious cues such as shape, size, weight, material, color, and brand name. Abraham Maslow sought to explain why people are driven by particular needs at particular times. His answer is that human needs are arranged in a hierarchy from most to least pressing—physiological needs, safety needs, social needs, esteem needs, and self-actualization. We discuss Maslow’s theory on the next slide. Frederick Herzberg developed a two-factor theory that distinguishes dissatisfiers (factors that cause dissatisfaction) from satisfiers (factors that cause satisfaction). The absence of dissatisfiers is not enough to motivate a purchase; satisfiers must be present. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-25

  • 29. Learning  Learning theorists believe learning is produced through the interplay of drives, stimuli, cues, responses, and reinforcement.. A drive is a strong internal stimulus impelling action. Cues are minor stimuli that determine when, where, and how a person responds. Suppose you buy an HP computer. If your experience is rewarding, your response to computers and HP will be positively reinforced. Later, when you want to buy a printer, you may assume that because it makes good computers, HP also makes good printers. In other words, you generalize your response to similar stimuli. A countertendency to generalization is discrimination. Discrimination means we have learned to recognize differences in sets of similar stimuli and can adjust our responses accordingly.Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-38 Non-Compensatory Models of Choice  Conjunctive: the consumer sets a minimum acceptable cutoff level for each attribute and chooses the first alternative that meets the minimum standard for all attributes.  Lexicographic: the consumer chooses the best brand on the basis of its perceived most important attribute.  Elimination-by-aspects: the consumer compares brands on an attribute selected probabilistically—where the probability of choosing an attribute is positively related to its importance—and eliminates brands that do not meet minimum acceptable cutoffs.

  • 42. The elaboration likelihood model, an influential model of attitude formation and change, describes how consumers make evaluations in both low- and high-involvement circumstances. There are two means of persuasion in their model: the central route, in which attitude formation or change stimulates much thought and is based on the consumer’s diligent, rational consideration of the most important product information; and the peripheral route, in which attitude formation or change provokes much less thought and results from the consumer’s association of a brand with either positive or negative peripheral cues. Peripheral cues for consumers include a celebrity endorsement, a credible source, or any object that generates positive feelings. Consumers follow the central route only if they possess sufficient motivation, ability, and opportunity. We buy many products under conditions of low involvement and without significant brand differences. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-42
  • 43. Decision Heuristics  Availability: Consumers base their predictions on the quickness and ease with which a particular example of an outcome comes to mind. If an example comes to mind too easily, consumers might overestimate the likelihood of its happening.  Representativeness: Consumers base their predictions on how representative or similar the outcome is to other examples.  Anchoring and adjustment: Consumers arrive at an initial judgment and then adjust it based on additional information.

  • 45. Copyright © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Prentice Hall 6-45 Mental Accounting  Consumers tend to…  Segregate gains: When a seller has a product with more than one positive dimension, it’s desirable to have the consumer evaluate each dimension separately. Listing multiple benefits of a large industrial product, for example, can make the sum of the parts seem greater than the whole.  Integrate losses: Marketers have a distinct advantage in selling something if its cost can be added to another large purchase. House buyers are more inclined to view additional expenditures favorably given the high price of buying a house.  Integrate smaller losses with larger gains  Segregate small gains from large losses
